Days of Old

Remember the days gone by when I would wake up early in the morning and start coding right away?

...yeah, me neither. Anyway, that's what I'm doing now. I can't guarantee I'll be working all day today (I never work all day anyway), as I have a project for one of my classes that I really need to work on today as well. But I should be able to get at least a few hours of work invested.

And it's gonna be nun brothels. SO MUCH WORK.

Yeah, it's that time again

Time for still more nun brothels. Figured out last time I coded that I needed to add still more variables for this event, and these are bigguns (or at least LOTS OF THEM), so this could take a while.

Thanksgiving

I'm tired, my throat still hurts, and I was streaming.

Derailed

Been sick lately, which sucks. Today took a turn of the worse as my sore throat went way, way beyond sore. Not sure why, doctors couldn't figure it out either. The current thinking is that I abraded (scratched) my throat and that the only real solution is pain management.

So now I'm on Vicodin, weeeeee!

The problem is that it's making me really scatterbrained (there's a reason I avoid narcotics), so sadly, coding is out for tonight.

Also, there's this thing Thursday called Thanksgiving, which will be taking up some of my time. So it might be that there's no streaming this week. We'll see what happens.

Nun Brothels? We gots 'em.

Yes, we're still on nuns and their sexual proclivities. Considering I have about forty pages of shit related to this damn place, I got to work on it.

Here some more stuff on the brothel:

In addition to managing the convent-cum-brothel, you have to manage the girls as well. They all have their own idea of how the brothel should be run (generally along one of the three paths), and while they'll like the upgrades related to those paths, they won't be pleased if you choose other upgrades. While you obviously can't cater to everyone's needs (there's two girls that hate each upgrade path), you have to figure out how to keep them happy, whether that's sacrificing some profit to give to the girl, or devoting some of your personal time to keeping her happy, since all six girls like when they get personal attention.

Of course, if you spend too much consecutive time with one girl, the others will get jealous.

Top that off with the fact that the girls aren't machines, and will get tired, and you have a bunch of time-management issues here. That being said, the goal is to make it as easy to manage as possible, so it shouldn't be cumbersome. But again, there's no promotions here, so it almost has to be more complicated.

You can also train the girls in different fetishes (which counts as personal time, FYI), which will take a while. When they finish training, they provide a boost to your profit when they work, but you can keep training them. If they get to level 2, they get another bonus, and if they get to level 3, they get a third bonus (usually a bonus to upgrade funds). But each girl will have a base fetish (that can be trained, but can't be removed) and a synergistic fetish that, if they train in it, gives them the bonus and makes them more happy, but you can't retrain the second fetish anymore.

So all this dicking around with training and happiness and money, eventually you're going to get someone pissed at you. If a girl's happiness reaches zero (and there'll be notifications), she'll leave. Which sounds great - you just got rid of someone that was dragging down your business - until you find out that they continue to drag down your business: the calculations for various things will always use all six girls, even if some of them aren't working for you, and a girl that's left is considered a zero for every check.

But it's still going to be hard to keep everyone happy, right? What's a frustrated and possibly evil brothel madam to do? Why, enslave your workers, of course. Buying a particular upgrade will give you the option of dominating your girls, one at a time. It'll take more than one session to do, and each session will severely lower happiness (with one specific exception), but if you can complete the domination before they hit zero happiness, then they'll become perfectly cowed and subservient employees (and you'll take a hit on your morality score). And that's not all: like fetishes, domination has three levels, with each level fixing the happiness score of the girl at a higher level (and giving her more accoutrements, like a collar at level 1, or a property tattoo at level 3). However, dominated girls cannot reach the highest happiness level (90-100), so you're usually better off not dominating them if you can help it. Unless you're into that.

Stll More Nun Brothels!

It's late, I'm tired, so naturally it's as good a time as any to do some coding.

Also, I totally forgot to post this when I got it, so I'm posting it now. The artist declined to be named, but asked that I make sure to point out it was created with Kisekae, by Pochikou, which you can apparently find here?

More Nun Brothels!

Getting ready to stream. Should be up in a couple of minutes.

It's done.

So, how does the convent brothel work? Well, it's easy. And complicated. But complicated things can be easy. This isn't. What was I talking about again?

After you successfully sex up all the nuns, the next time you go to the convent, they'll beg you to take over as Mother Superior of the convent, kicking out the old biddy that's already there. If you decline, they are essentially forced to admit that they've broken their celibacy, they're kicked out, and the convent is closed (you monster). If you accept, then you do just that: you kick out the mother superior, take over the convent (as your new full-time job), and, to make money, put the girls to work.

There are three ways you can run the brothel (I call them paths): you can run it as a convent that ministers to people with sex (Religious), you can run it for the sake of making money (Profit), or you can run it to convince people that sex is the point, and they should give you everything to help you spread the word (Cult).

The day-to-day running of the brothel is pretty easy. You head to work and end up in your office. In your office are three objects: the Ledger, the Model and the Board. The Ledger is what you use to run day-to-day activities: you can train girls, get them to help you work off your arousal, work the accounting books, and some other stuff. The Board lets you keep track of the girls' current states, including appearance and skills (which is important, since they won't generally be available to view normally anymore). The Model is where you decide how to change the convent.

Each day you work, you get Job Performance points, but unlike other careers, you can't get promoted: there's no higher position, after all. So the Job Performance points instead are used to rebuild the convent, representing the saved up cash from operations. Do you want to change the decorations? Maybe get some new clothes for the girls? You need to have sufficient JP to do so. Each upgrade has three potential variants, which have different benefits and drawbacks, and also correspond to the three paths mentioned before.

While you're running the convent, you have choices to make. A sex shop is illegal, so you'll be in danger of the police shutting you down if they find out about your operation. The more your convent looks like, well, a convent, the longer it will take for the police to get the evidence they need. The more it looks like a crazy sex cult, the less time it will take. But you can bribe the police to leave you alone, which will personally cost you money. In addition, running a brothel out of a convent is difficult because people aren't quite expecting it, so at the beginning you'll take home very little personal pay. But as you improve the brothel and fund shadowy "advertising", your profitability will increase to the point that you can take home up to $500 a day. But more exposure means more police interest...

So that's the brothel in a nutshell: a consistent, persistent location where you call the shots, and can change things over time to increase profit and decrease visibility with the cops, where you can decide if you want your girls to act like nuns that have sex, or shuck the habit and put on some thigh-high leather boots. Where you can run it as your own private harem, or teach the girls how to treat their customers just right.

...and that's what I was streaming today!

Nun Brothels!

Skipping ahead a bit tonight to set up the Nun Brothel Mistress job, which should be interesting, may post the details about it after the stream.

Also watching election night coverage (US Elections). I'm a second-grade political junkie, got it from my dad, so I can't not watch, but it'll be on the TV, with good ol' fashioned music on the stream.

Dunno how long I'll go. Feel free to tune in.

Edit: Turns out I'll go to 10:30pm. Election is getting close, having a hard time concentrating. I'm getting up early(ish) on Thursday for a lot more work.

Back from the Dead

Not that I was ever dead or anything...

But anyway, I'll be back to coding tomorrow.
